BALER, Aurora (PIA) – The provincial government of Aurora has opened a new computed tomography (CT) scan facility at Aurora Memorial Hospital (AMH), expanding access to advanced diagnostic services for residents.
Located in Barangay Reserva, Baler, the facility features 64-slice CT scan technology that produces detailed images of internal body structures, helping doctors detect and assess various medical conditions.
Governor Isidro Galban said the new facility is part of the provincial government’s efforts to upgrade public hospitals, expand medical services, and address facility gaps across provincial health facilities.
He said the equipment will spare patients from having to travel outside Aurora for CT scan examinations, making specialized diagnostic services more accessible to residents.
Meanwhile, Provincial Health Officer Myrna Nicer underscored the importance of continuously strengthening hospital facilities and improving medical services to enable more residents to access quality healthcare.
The new equipment is expected to enhance the hospital’s diagnostic imaging capabilities, particularly for patients requiring more detailed medical examinations.
In its initial advisory, AMH announced that the CT scan service would be available only to admitted patients and those in the emergency room.
Further updates on service availability will be posted on the hospital’s official Facebook page.
The new facility marks another step in the provincial government’s efforts to strengthen Aurora’s healthcare system and improve residents’ access to essential medical services. (RPQ/MAT, PIA Region 3-Aurora)
